PulMedics, Inc. to Present at Medtech Insight's ''Investment in Innovation'' Conference.


IRVINE, Calif. -- PulMedics, Inc. has announced that it will be presenting at 11:00 A.M. this Thursday, February 10th at Medtech Insight's Prestigious "Investment In Innovation (In3): A Preview of Early-Stage Medical Technology Companies" Conference, taking place February 10-11, 2005 at the Hyatt Regency Irvine in Irvine, California Irvine is an incorporated city in Orange County, California, United States. It is a planned city, mainly developed by the Irvine Company since the 1960s. Formally incorporated on December 28 1971, the 69.7 square mile (180.5 km²) city has a population of 202,079 (as of 2007). .

"Until now, there hasn't been an effective way to really know why a diet is working or failing. By trending certain metabolically-oriented parameters, our technology promises to provide much needed insight into whether the diet is to blame, or rather, whether the patient that has failed to adhere to adhere to

 the diet," said PulMedics C.E.O. and co-founder Craig Flanagan Ph.D. "PulMedics has patented a unique system called the 'Metabolic Solution.' This system uses sophisticated sensor-based technologies to measure a number of metabolically-oriented clinical indices with a five-minute breath test. These indices provide the clinician with a roadmap for creating and effectively managing personalized weight management strategies."

Flanagan continued: "Now a person can have a customized weight loss strategy developed around their unique metabolic characteristics. We believe that individuals and clinicians are tired of weight loss strategies that promise and don't deliver. Our 'Metabolic Solution' technologies, the CalorieMeter and MetaboLab employ a science-based approach to weight management known as Indirect Calorimetry calorimetry (kăl'ərĭm`ətrē), measurement of heat and the determination of heat capacity . Indirect Calorimetry uses a pain-free breath test to precisely measure an individual's unique metabolic characteristics. This information is then trended and used to guide in the development of an individually tailored weight management program."

PulMedics believes that the diagnostic and prescriptive value in trending these indices will make the Metabolic Solution an invaluable tool for clinicians, and that weekly patient assessment will become routine practice for a variety of weight management programs.
